I think I'm going to be sick

We finished second in the Josh Selby sweepstakes. Click below and see what might have been:

Yahoo Sports: Rivals.com Ranking - Rivals150 for class of 2010

New rankings are painful to look at.

Would've been extremely nice to land him, but if you'd told me the University of Tennessee had just landed three players within the Top 63 Rivals prospects in basketball a few years ago I would've laughed uncontrollably.

Why? Chism, Ramar, and Crews, i believe were rated that high.

Ramar- 20 Duke- 26 Chism- 34

Ahh, yes he would of been a awesome kid to have no doubt. But we need to for get about him and move on.

Point taken, but still Ramar and Crews were the highest rated players we landed that class and it didn't really work out that way.

Really? You must have a low threshold for pain

The #7 player in the country & finishing with 1 of the top 10 recruiting classes isn't really all that painful.

I realize your making a different point, but I had to LOL @ Jurick being #68. Hahaha

I'm just throwing ratings out no pun intended.

I am not disappointed at what we have. Would Shelby have reinforced it? sure.. but we still have a great class coming in. With all the one and done players, Kentucky is going to hit a situation soon that hurts... no depth.

Tobias should be 3rd or 4th not 7th.

In football you can do that, but basketball...you can't.

 

[Sabanocchio]

I told many Selby would be 1st in the final rankings.

Would it have nice to land Shelby? Obviously yes. Do we need him? IMO no we don't. We still had a top 10 class, plus we have a lot of returning talent. Kentucky will likely be breaking in 4 freshman in the starting line up....I think we'll do ok.

Where did this kid finally decide to go?

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Facepalm.

I don't really think we were ever really in it for Josh Shelby, he doesn't look that athletic to me and apparently likes to party hard.

Where did this kid finally decide to go?

Kansas.

 

[tnvolsfan85]

Kansas.

lol: Are you serious?

 

[Kingston Vol]

lol: Are you serious?

Did I miss something funny?

 

[ShowMeVol]

lol: Are you serious?

Why is choosing KS funny?

Selby wasnt going to make or break Tns class, it would of been nice to have him but we dont and sure not going to get sick over it.Im more pleased that we got Golden than upset because we didnt get Selby.

I may like UNC basketball as well as Tennessee basketball, but this post has neither to do with that. I've seen numerous tapes of both players and watched the Mcdonald's All-American game and other games, and you cannot convince me Josh Selby is better than Harrison Barnes. Selby is a very good player don't get me wrong, I just don't think he is better than him at this point.
